Before the rise of Calamity Ganon, Princess Zelda of Hyrule was appointed to travel across the lands. She was to learn about the technologies of the ancient civilizations before her kingdom rose and speak to the leaders of each nation. And along the way, she must bring her trusty friend and guard, Link. But as they travel, with nobody else around to talk to, they grow to find an affection for each other that's deeper than a friendship. But how, in a world governed by politics and potential war, could they find a way to stay together?

This is their story, Zelda and Links happy ever after. This is the tale of how they rebuild Hyrule, make lasting friendships, and fall in love. // This story is based after the end of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Their are spoilers from the game. Nintendo owns the Legend of Zelda, I did not make any of the art I use. I only own the story and characters I make up. Started: August 2018 Ended: January 17, 2022

Before the Great Calamity, Zelda and Link travel amongst Hyrule together. They must learn to tolerate each other on their journey. Zelda, having barely been able to leave the castle much before him, discovered her sense of adventure when she went out with Link. Is it possible that the two of them harbored a secret admiration for each other than ran deeper than friendship? Or would Link maintain his silence and not speak to the princess at all? This story flashes back from before and after the Great Calamity. What happens after Link defeats Calamity Ganon? This story is very long, but if I do say so myself, I think it's worth it! There will be a sequel. Contains spoilers. I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS OR ANYTHING/MONOLOGUE THAT HAPPENED IN THE GAME, it belongs to Nintendo. Some parts of the story however did not occur in the game. I hope you enjoy! Contains violence and some implications of sex.

Link grew up apart of the Yiga Clan and was raised as an assassin. He is responsible of many deaths in Hyrule, and he shows no remorse or feels regret. Link grows up to be emotionless and to do what he is told. One day, he is assigned a mission to kill Princess Zelda, but something happens and he grows unable to do so.

A beautiful princess who's failures reminded by her silent, personal knight. Link. Her personal knight whose sole purpose is to protect her, whilst not uttering a single word. •○●•○• Zelda develops a deep habit of overthinking, because she feels she's failing her role as upcoming Queen of Hyrule, especially with the rise of yiga clan attacks after her mother's death. More pressure is added with the recurring topic of duties especially when Zelda finally let's loose of the kings standards and expectations-- especially when spending time with Link... who somehow has more in common with her than she thinks, despite him not saying a word. He remains a mystery to her. A mystery she hoped to solve as she slowly gets closer to him. °•○•○●° But as they open up and spend more time together, will the initial clash develop into Romance? Or will this be unacceptable since boundaries certainly exist-- especially with the rising expectation of marriage for Zelda. And more importantly- will he ever talk? Enjoy the rollercoaster! ~ Might sound boring but I PROMISE theres more to come ;) -THIS IS MY OWN VERSION OF BOTW WITH NO CALAMITY involved. -If u HAVEN'T played: this is a game based in Hyrule. - Must read: • Keep in mind, could contain SPOILERS • I own SOME characters • I DO NOT own fanart (e.g the cover)- I think most art has credit written, but if u want more credit or it taken down, tell me! •This is my 1st and most successful fanfic--I really love the game so I will focus on their relationship with lots of depth! So it might be a bit heavy and link will not talk until later on. But it'll be worth it, so please give this a chance :) Love to hear feedback & views Thank you so much! Enjoy ♡ ~ Zelda's Beloved: By ArianaZ6 I own the story, not the game

Nach 100 Jahren erwacht Link im Schrein des Lebens und kann sich an nichts erinnern. Da ist nur ein Name, der ihm ständig wiederbegegnet... Zelda, die Prinzessin von Hyrule. Sie scheint sehr wichtig zu sein, nicht nur für das Land, sondern auch für ihn. Doch wie soll er herausfinden, was genau sie ihm bedeutet, wenn er sich an nichts erinnern kann? Zelink-Fanfiction Änderungen an der eigentlichen Story enthalten ~credit for the cover art goes to @pathko on tumblr~
